I have been with virgin (NTL) for many years now and their constant disregard for customer demand amazes me - i still have their phone and BB but in terms of TV after buying into HD DVD and BLU RAY i have been spoiled by the PQ of HD and V+ paltry upscaling no longer cuts it. People buy HD ready tvs and still watch SD broadcasts on them, they need to be educated and persuaded to invest in HD - thats what sky are doing, looking to the future and trying to get as many customers on board as possible, thus protecting their investment - cant u see that in order for broadcasting to move forward, the viewers need to move forward too!  |
Have you considered that the demands made on here for HD on Virgin are not representative of the VM customer base as a whole? I for one find HD nice to watch but SD upscaled is also nice. I haven't once thought "This is a joke, I can't accept this SD picture anymore, I just can't". And why? Because it's just TV. SD/HD, ultimately there aren't enough people who give a flying monkey funk to warrant any major investment.
